Utrecht will be slightly slow track with some assistance for the spinners, but ball will have variable bounce as match progresses. We expect bright and sunny weather as per the weather forecasters.

PNG-W vs SCT-W Pitch Report

We expect a good balance between the bat and ball in this match and the average scores to be in the range of 220-240 runs. Both teams have a line-up of spinners and if the pitch aids spinners, then we might see a low scoring match.

Toss: To Bat

We expect both skippers to bat first on this pitch as the pitch might slow down in the second innings due to the used nature.
